Follyfoot

It will come as no surprise that among my favourite literary guilty pleasures there happen to be a few that are equine in nature and my inspiration came from the Follyfoot series of books by Monica Dickens that became a popular TV series in the 70's and I sooooo wanted to be like Dora!!

Why did I choose Follyfoot? Well after my wonderful family my animals are so precious to me and give me so much pleasure, added to which they tolerate the nonsense that comes out of my mouth on a regular basis and don't judge me!! Case in point I can hear you yelling "shut up Sarah and show the card!!"......here it is

The rubber stamp is one of the very first that I ever bought and is called Charley with Willow that I coloured with SN pencils to match the pretty Pebbles paper. The sweet flowers were punched out of perfectly matching pink card (although looking at the picture it doesn't seem so!!) and I added a yellow gem to the centres.

Now why have I got 'The Lightening Tree' buzzing through my head? Now you've got me hearing 'White Horses' by Jackie burbling up as well! Showing my age now, but this is a really sweet image and very appropriate. :)

So pretty this has taken me back a bit I can remember that lovely programme. I just love the card the image is so sweet and your colouring is gorgeous love the pastel shades a perfect card Love and hugs Carole x

I'll bet that you are smiling the entire time when you're creating with a horsie image. This one is just darling, as is the little sweetie hugging him. Our DD loved horses as a child (and thank goodness now has just greyhounds, who are nearly big enough to qualify for a pony anyway!). We had all things horses with books & movies. Our fav was Black Beauty and we still have the old copy I read as a child. Your flowers match the pinks in that lovely chevron strip just wonderfully well. Hope you are having some fab weather to enjoy with Surprise. TFS & Hugs.

Oh my gosh,Follyfoot!This is one seriously sweet card.Just love your colouring on the textured card and the pretty colours.Thanks for joining us at Craft Your Passion.Hope to see you again next week.Lisa x
